District H

Back to School Backpack Distribution

Every summer just before the start of term, Mayor Turner’s Back to School event yields extra backpacks which are then allotted to each City Council Member. As an educator (and the new chairwoman for the City Council Economic Development Subcommittee on Education), schools and the young people served within those walls are of highest priority to Council Member Karla Cisneros. For that reason, she has together with her staff hand delivered a donation of backpacks filled with school supplies every year to each District H elementary school just before school begins again. Council Member Cisneros understands that not every student in need is able to attend the various back to school resource fairs prior to the start of the school year, so coordinating with and delivering straight to the schools has proved the most efficient way to reach those students.
